your character chooses your destiny… January 25, 2007
Thoughts lead on to purposes;
Purposes go forth in action;

If you create a habit, you create a character.
If you create a character, you create a destiny.

Sow a thought, and you reap an act;
Sow an act, and you reap a habit;
Sow a habit, and you reap a character;
Sow a character, and you reap a destiny.
- Charles Reade
Thoughts lead to acts,
Acts lead to habits,
Habits lead to character, and
Our character will determine our eternal destiny.
